Abstract.

Polymer particles containing oil-soluble dyes (colored latex particles) were prepared by mini-emulsion polymerization. Copper phthalocyanine dyes and styryl dyes were used as oil-soluble dyes. Highly hydrophobic dyes played the role of hydrophobe by themselves and enabled the full incorporation of dyes in the latex without additional hydrophobes. Two phthalocyanine dyes having similar color were blended in a mini-emulsion polymerization so that the resulting colored latex showed enough strong color depth as a colorant. Colored latexes with high dye content (more than 30 wt% for phthalocyanine dye system and 40 wt% for styryl one) and with particle size less than 100 nm were obtained.
